He told the historian Eusebius that he converted to Christianity because of a vision and a dream he had in 312, on the day before a major battle, which took place outside Rome, near the Milvian Bridge. Eusebius tells us: Around noon-time, when the day was already beginning to decline, he saw before him in the sky the sign of a cross of light. . He said he became disturbed. What could the vision mean? He continued to ponder and to give great thought to the question, and night came on him suddenly.

He built many churches, destroyed pagan temples, and decreed tax policies that were favorable to Christian clergy and Christian institutions.
